Short Sizemore
Okajima starts his third inning of work, and Sizemore bunts for a base hit to start the eighth.
Update: Cabrera lines one up the middle to put runners at first and second. Papelbon is coming on to try to get the first six out save of his career.
Update: Hafner has no chance as he swings at three pitches and misses two, including the third one.
Update: Martinez hits what should be a double play ball to second, but both Pedroia and Lugo can't get a handle on the ball, and they just get the runner at second. First and third with two out for Garko.
Update: Papelbon gets ahead of Garko 1-2, but then Ryan drives the next pitch to deep center. Ellsbury runs it down, for the third out and the Indians threat goes by the boards, as does the heart of the Cleveland lineup. The Red Sox are three outs away from the World Series.
